When God Gives You Goats or Chickens...
Naga (pictured above) and her sister Chinni were both blessed with second generation goats.
Naga is married with three children, two girls and a boy, ages 4,5, and 6. Sister Chinni has two boys and a girl, ages 7, 8, and 9.
So far, nine families have been blessed in Naga's little village with just three goats from you. In fact, the KGM leaders have opened a "kid feeding and breeding area" to help the herds grow.
Naga's goat just gave birth; so another family will receive a third generation goat gift and that fountain of blessings that all started with you flows on! It's no wonder these women are smiling from ear to ear.
And this doesn't count the families who were gifted flocks of chickens. Baby, an Indian widow in another state, has GIVEN AWAY FORTY CHICKENS from the starter flock of five you gave her. Another, Nirmala, has grown her flock to 70 and is sending her
daughter to college with the income she's earning.
These are not isolated stories. Similar results are transforming entire villages in other India states.

Kerusomen Gospel Ministries supports people to stand on their own and discover God's power to help them change their own lives.
We call this sustainable compassion. The people we serve in rural India have God-given talents to provide for their families but most don't have the financial resources to get started.
Owning animals in rural India is the key to food and income security. They provide families with their own source of nutrition, manure for vegetable gardens, and a small business, as well.
